The Democrats are that one homely kid that gets picked last for dodgeball.
The Democrats are so unpopular that TheOnion articles look like NY Times headlines.

-- read Chris Wright's recent essay on Counterpunch, The Stupefying Mediocrity of Barack Obama. Here I will give this piece a go-over, pointing out its highly amusing word choices. It's not as if Wright is wrong, or as if his politics were suspect, or anything like that.

I want to address some misconceptions, and hopefully clear the air about a few things.

First all I want to say - I get it. I understand why someone wouldn't want to vote.
The system is rigged. It's obvious. By giving it your vote you are giving it legitimacy.
Why would you want to do that?
It's like gambling in a card game that you know is rigged ahead of time. It's throwing away time and money.

Just when you were ready to write off the progressive insurgency, yesterday happened.

The biggest headline victory was in Nebraska.

Here's some undeniable good news for a change.
Less than a week ago, Rewire ran a piece titled:

DCCC Intervenes in Primary Yet Again, This Time Against Nebraska’s Kara Eastman

Kayne the Putin Puppet.
It had to happen sometime.

This will probably not surprise anyone.

Since losing against the most unpopular Republican candidate since, well, forever, the Democrats have had two political messages, 1) ScaryRussia, and 2) Trump Yuck!
If they thought this was going to win over the American public, they might want to rethink that.
